Abstract

We present a coupled cluster and linear response theory to compute properties of many-electron systems at nonzero temperatures. For this purpose, we make use of the thermofield dynamics, which allows for a compact wave function representation of the thermal density matrix, and extend our recently developed framework ( J. Chem. Phys. 2019, 150,
